Juniper Networks 5000 SERIES manual Starting a Console Session Using Dialup, Telnet

Chapter 3 Configuring the Device

For example, if the MGT interface has an address of 10.100.2.183, enter:

telnet 10.100.2.183

3.At the Username prompt, type your user name (default is netscreen).

4.At the Password prompt, type your password (default is netscreen).

Note: Use lowercase letters only. Both username and password are case-sensitive.

5.(Optional) By default, the console times out and terminates automatically after 10 minutes of idle time. To change this timeout interval, execute the following command:

set console timeout number

where number is the length of idle time in minutes before session termination. To prevent any automatic termination, specify a value of 0.

Starting a Console Session Using Dialup

Each NetScreen-5000 Series device provides a modem port that allows you to establish a remote console session using a dialup connection through a 9600 bps modem. Dialing into the modem establishes a dialup console connection.

Note: The Terminal type for dialup sessions must be vt100. For example, in Hilgreave HyperTerminal (a commonly-used terminal application), click Connect, select Remote System from the dropdown menu, then select vt100 from the Term Type menu.

Establishing a GUI Management Session

To access the NetScreen-5000 Series device with the WebUI management application:

1.Connect your computer (or your LAN hub) to the MGT interface using a Category-5 Ethernet cable. (The MGT interface is on the 5000-M or 5000-M2 management modules, which always reside in slot 1.)

2.Launch your browser, enter the IP address of the MGT interface in the URL field, then press Enter.
